What you must strive for is to be more and more with God each day; to empty out your heart of everything that is not Him; to have no other love; not to worry about anyone and, when those thoughts of creatures come to you, to reject them that you may think of God.
Let's respond to Him with our whole being. Oh, may everything belong to Him from this moment. Let's live for Him alone.
For this, let's live in intimate union with our Jesus in the depths of our souls. When we serve creatures, let's serve Him in them with a love and perfection worthy of Him. Whatever we do, may it be for love of Him. He, at every moment, acts lovingly within us.
Tell Him: "I'm worn out: I don't feel like working, but I'll do it for love of You. Lord, everything I do is for You alone. It doesn't matter whether people praise or look at me, for even if they weren't there, I'd do it for You just the same. I desire only to be seen by You, my Love."
Tell Him this as often as you can.
